Satu: Thanks! I personally think that by getting colours right you achieve alot of the realism. Theres just tons of different hues in skin so it can get really tough sometimes. I don't care about rendering too much actually, I should work more on it during the actual painting process instead of trying to magically get some texture going on after I got all the values and colours figured out. No idea actually how long I spent on that piece - probably several hours.

I swear I do more stuff than gets posted. x.x; I made myself a 7day/week -schedule which I'm following. Really started grinding through the anatomy stuff too though that won't get posted. So I'm not slacking! Well, I still should do more though. x.x;

stuff. Tons of mistakes on the SP as usual but it was timed and I stopped after a while.

great updates, nice portraits and studies, the silhouettes are great as well, i'm amazed at the realism you got on the first one on post #468 and love the second one's similitude to traditional medias, keep it up man!
